Ubuntu :: Why Don't My Headphones Work In 10.04 Or 10.10?
Oct 13, 2010
I've had this problem since I clean-installed Ubuntu on this computer and have lived with it, but I was really hoping that upgrading (clean install) to 10.10 would fix it. my headphones don't work.When I plug headphones into the computer, the sound still comes out of the main speakers,and this is with all of the headphone jacks on my computer. the headphones work in all of my jacks when I am in windows. I can't figure it out.
Well I installed 10.04 and it seems to have been a success with one exception.My USB Logitac headphones don't work properly.There is sound that is so faint it is incomprehensible.They worked fine on 9.10.
I'm currently running Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my HP Mini 110-3000 and I get no speaker output but the sound works when I plug my headphones in. I downloaded Alsamixer and played with the setting but nothing helped so now I turn to you guys.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. My sound works fine unless I have headphones plugged in. I've tried 2 sets of headphones, and it doesn't work with either set, so it's not the headphones. The volume is not muted (it's at 100%) for the headphones either in alsamixer. How can I diagnose and fix this?

I have a Acer Aspire One netbook running Lucid Lynx.Sound quality is fine through my speakers, but when I plug in headphones things go awry. The headphones are working because the speakers mute and I can hear musical instruments playing on the track, but I can't hear any of the voices in the music.It's as if the voices are muted, but I can still hear the guitars, drums, bass, etc. When I unplug the headphones the track plays normally, voices and all, through the speakers.
first because of my nvidia card if I don't put nomodeset my screen turns off.also whenever I try to update my nvidia drivers either the ones from the ones from the website or the propriety drivers I get a MCU failure or something like that and to fix that i have to change "nvidia" in my xorg.conf to "nv" but then my resolution loads to 640x480 which i cant change and it says im not using the propriety drivers so then i changed "nv" to "vesa" which makes my screen highest screen resolution 1280x 720 and apparently my refresh rate is 0. but i cant do anything good without the propriety drivers.Also my sound doesn't work at all unless i plug in some headphones.
I had a similar problem when using xp. Whenever the headphones were plugged in, the logitech desktop speakers would not work, now the problem is in reverse. Sound comes through the desktop speakers just fine, but the headphones do not play sound for nothing.
I have a Toshiba Satellite T135 and after installing openSUSE my headphones don't work.When I plug them in the sound continues on the speakers and no sounds comes from the headphones.Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix? I've tried a few ideas and nothing has worked.
Also posted on openSUSE forum. Hope this is the correct subforum. As the title says, I get sound from my speakers but not from my headphones. All mixer settings are at 100% and the speakers are muted when the headphones are plugged in.
I have bought a laptop 2 months ago with pre installed windows7 and installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit but still didnt get sound from the speakers. With headphones everything is OK . I have unmuted everything and searched forums but nothing so far. In windows I get speaker sound so it is not hardware problem. In alsamixer it appears I have 2 soundcards, one HDA -intel (chip Realtek ALC272) and a second one HDA nvidia ( a virtual one propably from my nvidia VGA ) that lacks controls . With lspci -v , it appears both use the same driver :Kernel driver in use: HDA IKernel modules: snd-hda-intel . Tried to disable the first one from bios but it didnt help I also tried sound adjustment in preferences -> sound and gnome-alsamixer, nothing From gnome alsamixer, when I mute speakers, the headphones also get mute so may be the system doesnt recognize speakers and headphones separately ? May be it has to do with config files but my linux knowledge is low
Recently I've been working intensively in my laptop (F12 x86_64) and so I usually only suspend it when I move between home and school, so I can continue working exactly where I left.
Alongside with a problem (now irrelevant given the context) of sluggish video performance after resuming from suspend (addressed in another thread), I've found another annoying problem involving sound (it embarrassed me in the library): after suspend I can no longer use headphones! Sure, I can have them on, but the laptop speakers play as well!
I tried several things in alsamixer and the only option was to entirely shut the volume down.
Of course I would hate to reboot the machine, besides I imagine it is a matter of restarting some service.
Is there a fix or at least a workaround for this sound issue without rebooting the machine?
when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.
I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.
I don't get any sound from my left speaker. With my headphones plugged in though I get sound in both speakers. I've upgraded my Kernel to .36. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I'm on an MSI A7200 which is a great laptop but apparently a very rare one. There's like no info on it at all on the internet.
I'm running FC 14 on an Alienware m15x-R1. It's an older one that they made before Dell bought them out. My problem is that the internal speakers don't work, but if I plug a headset in to the audio jack, it works fine. lspci tells me I have an audio device Intel Corp HD Audio Controller, which may or may not be helpful. I booted it up with an Ubuntu live CD just to make sure it was the hardware, and I get the same results.

When I play audio, the sound comes only out of the laptop speakers, not the headphones that are plugged in. I downloaded ALSA mixer and nothing on it seems to help, although at the top in the middle it says Intel IbexPeak HDMI, which I guess is my sound card.
It has happened to my debian jessie system that the sound sometimes ceased to work, but after a quick review of alsamixer, pavucontrol it was easy to put everything back to normal. Not this time
The sound works as a charm with no headphones, but not with them, and I find them particularly useful for talking with people since the sound quality is way better...
I have alsa and pulseaudio installed on my system
uname -a Linux device 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.13-2 (2014-07-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
lspci -v| grep Audio 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
In pavucontrol everything looks normal, and the output seems to be working...
I have an issue where my laptop speakers work just fine, but when I plug in headphones, I get no noise. I'm using openSUSE 11.4.I found others with the same issue, but this guy's solution looks like he might be using some different version and his solution doesn't work (can't find the file he edited).
I`m new to Ubuntu and Linux as all. First of all i have a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop. I have a very strange problem, after the initial installation of Ubuntu 10.10 there were no problems plugging in my headphones or 2.1 sound system and listening to music. After a couple of days when trying to plug in my 2.1 sound system I noticed that there is no sound coming out of them, but the laptop speakers were working fine. Tested the sound system with another laptop and they worked well. I have checked all the settings and everything seems fine. I`m puzzled. I have the system dual boot with Win 7 if that makes any difference.
so I've been waiting a long time to dual boot my Mac OS X with Linux and I finally did it. I'm loving it so far, except for the fact that my headphones won't work. I can plug them in, but the sound will continue to come out of the built in speakers. I've tried messing around with sound preferences but being the n00b that I am, I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Anyway, went on a wild goose chase for a couple of days trying to get a USB headset working with Skype, which I achieved, then I was informed today not required but built in mic and speaker was. Hmm. So, I succeeded in screwing things up when really didn't have time to fix it and now completely stumped.
Problem: Speaker works fine but front headphone socket now dead. Cuts out speaker but no sound. Headphone socket essential for user's day to day computing.
Results of cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Code: Codec: IDT 92HD71BXX Codec: Generic 11c1 ID 1040 * Preferences in System->Preferences->Sound all set to Autodetect except sound
[Code].....
I have followed every howto and attempted every tweak out there and nothing has worked for me to get this headphone socket alive again. It was working fine before. Bottom line:
I have done a bit of a search for this and would normally do more but as I am on holiday and have just upgraded my mother in law's machine to 10.04 and only here tomorrow then back home (750Kms away) I am hoping the community can speed things up a little.
Open Pulse Volume Control and headset mic working because input meter shows it, plays audio cause output meter shows it, but the analogue headset headphones give me no sound.
All seems to be working fine but just not getting through to headphones. This is with all apps (Skype, Totem).
I'm using ubuntu on a PC and when I plug in my headphones, sometimes they are completely ignored and sound continues coming through the speaker and sometimes it is just silent. The speakers on the computer work fine and when I plug in the headphones in windows (my computer is dual booted), they worked fine. However, when I had arch, they did the same thing that they do with ubuntu, so I know that it must be something with linux. I checked alsamixer and the headphone settings are correct, so it can't be that. When I plug in the headphones, there is sound coming out of them for a split second before it completely stops.
I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 3050 laptop with a Realtek HD sound card. When I plug headphones in, the sound comes out of the headphones AND the built-in speakers, instead of the speakers muting as they should.
This happens on both the live CD and the installed OS which i'm running. I've tried every fix I can find on the Internet, including a setting changed in the text-mode ALSA Mixer, installing a package from synaptic, and other fixes for older versions of Ubuntu that can't be done on 10.04.
